A forum member--wrwatkins--asked the following question in another thread. No one has answered it yet and it has me thinking. (Watch out, the wheels are turning) [:0] [;)] <br /> <br /> <br />Many years ago (1950's?) a teenager named Edward Everett Knowles from Boston, I think, lost an arm from trying to catch a train on the way home from school. The surgeons successfully reattached the arm. What ever became of him and did the reattachment take in the long run? <br /> <br /> <br />Now his question reminded me of an article in Reader's Digest many (many) years ago. The article was about a young man riding a boxcar that went into a tunnel (I think) and the young man lost his arm. He had to climb over a fence to get into the yard but I believe his family sued the railroad over it. <br /> <br />Anyway, can anyone add to these stories or even add some others? <br />
